The composition of the Tibetan medicine Rhodiola granules (RG) is complex, and the overall quality of RG is difficult to determine. Therefore, establishing a method to determine the multi-component in vitro dissolution of RG is of great significance for quality control. This study uses the second paddle method of the fourth general rule 0931 from the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition), compliant with apparatus 2 of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). The dissolution apparatus was set to a rotation speed of 100 rpm with ultrapure water as the dissolution medium. A sample volume of 1 mL was collected at each timepoint. Furthermore, the cumulative dissolution of gallic acid, salidroside, and ethyl gallic acid in RG at different time points was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Finally, the dissolution curves were drawn, and the curves were fitted to the GompertzMod, the Gompertz, the Logistic, and the Weibull equations. The results showed that the cumulative dissolution of gallic acid in RG was over 80% at 1 min, the cumulative dissolution of salidroside and ethyl gallic acid was over 65% at 5 min, and the cumulative dissolution of each index component decreased after 30 min. The curve fitting demonstrated that the GompertzMod equation was the best-fitting model for each index component of RG. In conclusion, the dissolution test method described in this protocol is simple, accurate, and reliable. It can characterize the dissolution behavior of the index components in RG in vitro, which provides a methodological reference for quality control of RG and quality evaluation of other ethnic compounds.
藏药红景天颗粒(RG)的组成复杂,整体质量难以确定。因此,建立一种测定 RG 多成分体外溶出度的方法对于质量控制具有重要意义。本研究采用中国药典(2020 年版)四部通则 0931 第二法桨法,符合美国药典(USP)通则 2 的装置。溶出度仪转速设定为 100rpm,以超纯水为溶出介质。每个时间点采集 1ml 样品。此外,采用高效液相色谱法(HPLC)测定 RG 中没食子酸、红景天苷和乙基没食子酸在不同时间点的累积溶出度。最后绘制溶出曲线,并采用 GompertzMod、Gompertz、Logistic 和 Weibull 方程对曲线进行拟合。结果表明,RG 中没食子酸的累积溶出度在 1min 时超过 80%,红景天苷和乙基没食子酸的累积溶出度在 5min 时超过 65%,30min 后各指标成分的累积溶出度下降。曲线拟合表明,GompertzMod 方程是 RG 各指标成分的最佳拟合模型。综上所述,本研究建立的溶出度试验方法简单、准确、可靠。它可以描述 RG 中指标成分的体外溶出行为,为 RG 的质量控制和其他民族化合物的质量评价提供了方法学参考。
